DTES Vancouver Cracktown Edit

This is a clip I edited to show what life in DTES Vancouver looks like. Just so you people understand my motivations, well I lived at the Regent Hotel on Main and Hastings for two months while working on a construction site nearby, and I was fascinated by the neighborhood because it was like waking up in a zombie movie each and every day. My main objective when I moved there was to shoot a documentary on poverty and drugs in DTES with some historic facts and all, but since I worked full time and did not have much time, I ended up filming less than I expected so I decided to edit a short but shocking clip so people can realize in what kind of world they are living in. Of course, my intention was to show the shady side of DTES, but I wanna point out that there is a lot of support for homeless people and drug addicts, a lot of good people trying to help, social workers, street nurses, volunteers, and not only drug addicts and prostitutes…
